XP Graphics problem - icons, buttons and text disappear
Hi everyone,
Here's a conundrum for you all:
One of our users has a problem where icons, text and buttons are not visible, or have a white block in their place (sometimes with a hazy appearance.
I've restarted the "Themes" service, then the computer, downloaded and installed the latest and correct video driver, checked all the settings and nothing seems to have fixed it.
Icons from other applications appear fine, it's just the Windows ones.
The computer does not have system restore enabled...
I know from past experiences with modifying the Windows Shell and DLLs that themes use targa images as layers on objects. Could it be an issue with the shell DLLs or Targa files?
Attached is a screen dump.
If anyone's come across this and beat it in the past, please let me know!
Many thanks in advance.
